Description: H3C MIB defining reference textual conventions and common objects for H3C 802.11 wireless MIB modules.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is H3C-DOT11-REF-MIB?

H3C-DOT11-REF-MIB is an H3C (Hangzhou Huawei-3Com, now part of New H3C Technologies) MIB defining common 802.11 wireless textual conventions and reference objects reused across H3C's family of WLAN-related MIB modules, functionally mirroring the near-identical HP Networking HPN-ICF-DOT11-REF-MIB (reflecting the two vendors' shared engineering heritage). It exposes access-point and radio element inventory data—AP identity, template name, serial ID, and model alias—along with per-radio attributes like radio number, policy, and index. Its monitoring relevance centers on wireless hardware inventory and identity: h3cDot11APElementSerialID and h3cDot11APElementModelAlias let an operator confirm which physical AP hardware and radio modules are deployed, serving as a structural foundation rather than deep runtime statistics. It exists specifically to be imported by other H3C 802.11-specific MIBs (radio performance, client association, etc.), giving it a direct dependency relationship with those sibling modules and the IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards it documents. It is deployed in enterprise wireless LAN environments built on H3C access points and wireless controllers. The H3C-DOT11-REF-MIB OID space itself is imported directly by those sibling dot11 modules rather than queried on its own.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-DOT11-REF-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

H3C WA7330X — Wi-Fi 7 triple-radio outdoor access point

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll h3cDot11APElementTable/h3cDot11APElementEntry, indexed by h3cDot11APElementIndex, to confirm the h3cDot11APElementSerialID and h3cDot11APElementModelAlias of each deployed access point match inventory records. The h3cDot11RadioElementTable/h3cDot11RadioElementEntry rows would be checked for h3cDot11RadioElementRadioPolicy and h3cDot11RadioElementRadioNum to verify each AP's radios are configured with the expected wireless standard/policy. Because this is a reference/textual-convention MIB, actual runtime performance counters (signal strength, client counts, throughput) would be found in other H3C dot11 MIBs that build on these definitions.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cDot11	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.75			This MIB defines the root node and TC for 802.11 features. By this way, the MIB series for 802.11 will be easily maintained. GLOSSARY IEEE 802.11 Standard to encourage interoperability among wireless networking equipment. IEEE 802.11a This is a high speed physical layer extension to the 802.11 standard on the 5 GHz band. IEEE 802.11b High-rate wireless LAN standard for wireless data transfer at up to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g Higher Speed Physical Layer (PHY) Extension to IEEE 802.11b, will boost wireless LAN speed to 54 Mbps by using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). The IEEE 802.11g specification is backward compatible with the widely deployed IEEE 802.11b standard. When configure radio with as bg mode, it means that radio will be compatible to 802.11b and 802.11g. When configure radio with as g mode, it means that radio will be only compatible to 802.11g. IEEE 802.11i As 802.11 has lot of deficiency in wireless security domain, especially for enterprise custom, IEEE defined a new standard 802.11i to extend security feature of 802.11 standard. AKM The authentication and key management method defined by 802.11i, and which includes 802.1x and pre-shared key.
